Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958)

Woman in science . Her work in structures enabled Watson & Crick “Double Helix” Discovery in 50’s

In 1951, both Sir William Lawrence Bragg and Linus Pauling wanted to find the structure of the master molecule of life, the gene. But both were focused on proteins (NOT DNA ! ) Sir William L. Bragg

(1890-1971) Nobel 1915, Physics(Director, Cavendish Lab, Cambridge University)

Linus Pauling(1901-1994Caltech U.(DistinguishedAmerican Team Leader)

Microbiologist Avery led the team that showed that DNA is the unit of inheritance. His work inspired Watson and Crick to seek DNA's structure.

Q : Can Comparative Genome of Long life Olm Salamander Help Humans live longer Brain Disease Free ?

“The Dark Horse Team “ of Watson & Crick

Answer:“structure” often points to “function”. The extraordinary feature of the DNA molecule is its ability to replicate itself.

Question:“Why was the determination of the double helix structure such an important discovery?”
